683497 - Proxy: "No proxy for" does not support "192.168.1.*" anymore (only wildcard)

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Florian Albeck]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:6.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.1
Build ID: 20110830092941

Steps to reproduce:

I always had and networkrange in my lan for which connections i did not have to go throug a proxy. so i filterd this range with the "no proxy for" setting and typed 192.168.1.* to get all the lan clients.

After updateing now to Firefox 6.0.1 ths wildcard doesn't work anymore. the no proxy setting only works if i specify the real ip adress like 192.168.1.5 or soemthing. then the proxy gets ignored, bit with the wildcard as 192.18.1.* firefox trys to establich the connection with the set proxy.


Actual results:

it dind't conect with the wildcard set, because firefox tired to get though proxy instead of ignoring it


Expected results:

ignore proxy, because wildcard was set.

192.168.0.* doesn't work for me in FF3.6.20 and FF6 but 192.168.0.0/24 works as expected

Matti is right. Firefox doesn't use the wildcard syntax. The dialog box actually tells you what the syntax is.

Well...but I know for sure there was a time where such wildcards were supported...so I think it is quite stupid to remove such "features" silently...

Ticket solved, thx... ;)

No, really, it never did. See for instance bug 242453 comment 10.
